Oddly enough, though I travel globally I've not met face-to-face a single member here except Clark! Until now. This weekend I met Paul K from Canada. A great guy, passionate of his studies, cordial and friendly.

Yes, I have to agree wholeheartedly. Paul spent several months in Chiang Mai recently - a great guy.

It was a great time for me to meet with you Chuck and Adam, the forum is a great way to communicate with others but will never replace the way we can share our passion in friendly meetings. I truly hope that time and health will allow us to meet again in not far future.

If I were Canadian, I'd head up to Gaspe Peninsula in summer.

Try the shore front at Havre-St-Pierre, much closer to Montreal than the Gaspe Peninsula.

It is as far as Florida state from Toronto. Certainly I will not risk travel there this year. The weather in all North America is not as normal Year and flight time might be different and with all the rains it would be easy to miss it. Paul

Also I was planing to travel to the shores of James Bay in North Ontario to search for Papilio machaon but with unusually cold spring flight season may be pushed off. In Toronto so far I saw only two P.glaucus which in normal years is common here in May and begin of June.

I just checked the map and of course you are right, it is further to Havre-Saint-Pierre. If you want to go to Gaspe, you need to be at the area of Matane.
It does seem that this year the season is late. Good luck looking for hudsonianus, it is a very interesting subspecies.
